I never use the nose-pinch reality check because it makes you look stupid! Why not close your mouth and try to breathe? Someone a while ago came up with a hands-free nose reality check. You close up the airway to the nostrils. But isn't it simpler to just close your mouth?
Am I missing something why no one has ever mentioned this before?

When you close your mouth, you'll reflexively breath in through your nose.
Thus, you close your nose while keeping your mouth shut to prevent any breathing from being possible.
Besides, people will hardly take it for anything other than scratching your nose when you do the reality check even if they do see it (people don't generally stare others in the face) since it just takes a short moment to do.
I would recommend maybe the hands through palm check? simply try and move your hand through your palm. Or try the time check. Look at your watch once, then look again. if the time changes dramaticaly you are dreaming. Good luck.

But thanks for the reply.
